hahahaha, i sorta knew id get that answer,hahaha :grin:

i just fancy it being a bit different  :huh:

i was offered a complete front end for £300 in my colour (so no sprayin) but its ooop north..too far for me to travel really

im not into big kits etc but the r32 kit just makes it look like a ....R32?!?!?!,

a BOLF on the other hand...well vw never made one of those!!

Interesting idea - I like the look of the Bora front - could look good on a Golf.

I thought about this too mate, there was a full front end on ebay 3 week ago sold for £99, I cant see the problem if you are changing the whole front, you can blend the existing bumper so all you need is the wings/bonnet and lights

Would you be doing it to the green one? i think a girl has a green bolf on the uk mkiv's forum worth a look. Would a S3 conversion be possible could be the first with a solf!!!  :grin:
